The Safe Retreat by Barney E. Warren Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the storm clouds rise and the sky is dark
When oppressed with anxious care
I’ve a safe retreat in the strong, high tow'r
For no ill can e’er harm me there

[Refrain]
I will hide in the safe retreat
I will hide in the safe retreat
When the storm clouds fly till they pass me by
I will hide in the safe retreat

[Verse 2]
When the lightnings flash and the thunders roll
And the storms in fury beat
When they seem so sure to engulf my soul
Then I hide in the safe retreat

[Refrain]
I will hide in the safe retreat
I will hide in the safe retreat
When the storm clouds fly till they pass me by
I will hide in the safe retreat
[Verse 3]
Soon the storms will pass and the sky will clear
And my rest be calm and sweet
I will trust and wait with no anxious fear
For I hide in the safe retreat

[Refrain]
I will hide in the safe retreat
I will hide in the safe retreat
When the storm clouds fly till they pass me by
I will hide in the safe retreat
